why is it when you finaly explain to people what an nsx is, they always seem to say 'why do you need a car that fast on our roads'. i say i never set out to buy a fast car, even though it is, what i wanted was a car that is different to the usual tin box, a car that makes you want to drive it just for the fun of it, not because you have to. a car that makes you feel special because you know that you are in a select club of owners. ok there are faster cars out there, more expensive cars out there, but the nsx has a personality of its own, how many people would still be buying fords or vauxhalls if they had remained almost unchanged for the last 13/14 years, so honda must have done a pretty good job to be still selling it. so the next time someone says 'what the hell did you buy one of those for' i will just quietly walk away happy that some people know about cars and some dont.

i wanted a car that i could use everyday with out the worry of a breakdown and without the worry of a nervous breakdown trying to use it everyday :wink:

I wanted to own the car that put the fear of God into Ferrari. The NSX is an engineering masterpiece, and now I own one.

Simple as that.

would people still buy a ferrari if it had a skoda badge on, somehow i think not, they are just buying the name. boxters are for people who want a porsche but cant realy afford one but like to turn up to the pub on friday nights in it, the rest of the time they drive the 'wifes' fiesta. as for lamborghini, well the owner can spell anyway and most likely has a large overdraft. maserati=flat cap and pipe, it gets polished a lot but never gets used much incase it breaksdown. but take the best bits from these cars and what have you got...............something not even close to becoming an nsx

I always dreamed of owning a Ferrari 308GTS. Or any Ferrari, really.

Then Honda brought out the NSX, Ferrari the 348.

"Oh dear" I thought. The myth was somewhat exploded.

As time has moved on and the World became more infatuated by the significance of badges, I find myself far less uncomfortable with a Honda than I would be with a Ferrari, Porsche etc. They now carry too much baggage, rather than history, sad to say.

I was once admiring a 308 GT4 at a seaside. Whilst doing so, I had some miserable old git whinging at me about what was the point and how he'd got there in perfectly good time in his Morris Marina.

I chose to ignore his bitter ignorance and to continue to admire my X-1/9's big brother.

I can only recommend that you all do likewise! Long may the NSX remain an undiscovered treasure.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT CAR YOU DRIVE

THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF ANY CAR IS
THE NUT BEHIND THE WHEEL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the one good thing i have noticed about owning a porsche, it allows you to park anywhere.......double yellows, dissabled bays, loading bays, etc.
